A bid is what people want to buy at and an ask is what people are willing to sell at. When a bid price equals a sell price, a trade is made.

You can sell to the highest bidder or, if you feel that his offer is too low, you can set your own price and your order will show up in the orderbook until someone buys at that price. The same thing for buying.

Check the MtGox orderbook for example. They have much more volume than Intersango...

Yes, figured that was the case. It all comes down the volumn it seems. I was wondering why my trade wasn't being executed its because nobody wants to sell me them at the ask price I put in! lol
